Meet The Page 2 Girls!

Happy New Year everyone!

The new year brings with it our brand new design Team - The Page 2 Girls! We are very excited to be able to share their inspirational projects with you. But first we thought you might like to get to know them a little better. So here they are, one by one, in no particular order - The Page 2 Girls!

I grew up on the Central Coast of NSW, and after a brief interlude in Cooma NSW, have been living in the outer suburbs of Newcastle NSW for the past 10 years. I am married (and are small business owners) with two teenage kids (currently one in TAFE and one home schooling). I am thankful for the freedom and time they allow me to create and craft.

I am a craft addict from way back – as a young girl it was knitting and crochet, as a young adult it was tapestry and cross stitch. Some 15 years ago I began dabbling in card making and stamping.In that 15 years, I have also had a go at patchwork, quilting, sewing, and scrapbooking to name a few. About 2 years ago my love of stamping was reignited, along with it a greater love of card making and the discovery of ATC’s. This, along with knitting and crochet, fills most of my ‘spare’ time.

I am a Mum of five and small business owner, who has a passion for handmaking things. Although I am only new to it, Scrapbooking appeals to me on so many levels. It is fun and allows creative expression, the limit is your imagination. It is a source of instant gratification with many projects being able to be completed in a single day and wonderful for gift giving.

My favourite media is off the page as I tend to enjoy making mini albums that are event specific rather than large albums, I enjoy altering regular items and making them beautiful and functional.

I am a huge fan of all things Tim Holtz and digital papers and media. My favourite papers are Graphic 45, We R Memory Keepers and My Minds Eye, I also love Basic Grey.

I look forward to creating some wonderful items for Pages 2 Scrap and getting to know you all!

Hi I’m Jane! I feel very honoured to be part of Pages 2 Scrap's first design team and I look forward to my many assignments.

I have two gorgeous teenagers and a very kind, patient and understanding husband. I’ve been making cards for over 11 years now and I absolutely love every aspect of it! I love sharing tips, the products and the many techniques that are out there! I’m very fortunate to have a job in the industry and I also get to teach interstate.

I think my forte would be stamping, techniques and making my own embellishments for my cards, if something doesn’t match what I’m creating then I make it match!! I look forward to showcasing my creations and inspiring you!

My name is Kate, I am 26 years old and I live on the shores of Lake Macquarie NSW with my husband & 2 daughters.

I have been scrapping for nearly 6 years, and started with a basic kit I was given as a gift, then I discovered the big wide world of Scrapbooking.

I have been fortunate enough to be on a few design & creative teams here in Australia & abroad, over the last couple of years. I have also had some publications in magazines which I am really proud of. Being able to share my love of scrapbooking & paper crafting makes me happy!! Most of all though, I am proud of my achievements in documenting milestones & everyday moments of our little family of 4. I have a bit of an arty style, I like to to use paints & inks on my pages, with lots of doodling, layers and clusters. I have many favourite manufacturers, and also love to use handmade embellishments. I am thoroughly looking forward to working on the very first Pages 2 Scrap Design Team, and hopefully inspiring everyone to document life’s treasured moments.

I'm a proud single Mumma to twin girls (who are the subjects of most of my scrapping). I have loved scrapbooking for 14 years. In 2006 I was a Scrapbooking Memories Master and lately I have been trying to improve my photography. I am a slow scrapper compared to most but I will stay up until the wee hours when I am absorbed by a page or project.

The thrill of being asked to join the Pages 2 Scrap design team is such a rush and I cannot wait to open that big package from Tuggerah every month! Pages 2 Scrap is the most amazing store, (my bank account will vouch for my addiction) and I just love Tim Holz products and fun mixed media finds. I do actually get tingles shopping in the store when I am surrounded by all the gorgeous potential. Thank you so much for the fabulous opportunity to join these super talented ladies on this fun scrapping journey.
